This may be wrist-top rather than lap-top, but I didn't know where else
to ask. A friend of mine returning from Japan saw a new Casio
calculator watch, the VDB-1000-A, selling for about 16,000 yen ~ $124.
I have tried to find one in the US, and have the Casio product brochure
for 1991 that mentions the VDB-1000-1. The US version has:
o 12/24 hr formats
o 5 independent daily alarms
o Hourly time signals
o 120 pages of telememo
6 characters & 12 numerals per page
Password function
o 120 pages Schedule-memo
8 letter message, month, date
& schedule time per page
o 120 pages Memo
12 characters
* Memories shared among 3 types of memo
o Calendar display from 1/1990-12/2089
o World time
24 time zones, city code display in
3 letters, summer time adjustment
o 8 digit calculator
I understand however, that the Japan version also has a stopwatch,
something that is missing from the DBX-100 I currently have.
My question is this: Has anyone seen one of these? Do you have any info
or impressions? Do you know how I could get a manual? (I've already
called Casio HQ in New Jersey, and they don't have any of the watches
in.)
